What are the causes of cervical warts?

Cervical condyloma acuminatum is caused by condyloma virus (also called human papillomavirus), which can invade the skin and mucous membranes, such as the vulva, vagina, anus and uterus. After the uterus is infected with the virus, it causes cervical mucosal lesions, and papillary and wart-like protrusions of varying sizes appear on the cervix, which are concentrated together or scattered, with a gray or dark red surface and a soft texture. Condyloma acuminatum is generally multiple, and in addition to the cervix, the vulva, vagina and anus may also be complicated. If it is multiple during pregnancy, it can disappear on its own after delivery.

1. The main cause of cervical warts is direct contact infection, which accounts for more than 90% of the incidence rate.

2. Infection is caused by the vulva skin and mucous membrane coming into contact with dirty objects, such as unclean bath towels, bathtubs, underwear, and incomplete disinfection of medical supplies.

3. Patients with genital warts virus or virus carriers can easily transmit the virus to their sexual partners through sexual intercourse, which is also one of the causes of cervical warts.

4. Indirect contact transmission, such as wearing the same underwear, sharing the same bedding and utensils for cleaning the genitals, etc., may all lead to indirect transmission.
